Background: The role of calvarial sutures in transmitting biomechanical forces within the
head is unclear. Methods: To examine the biomechanical characteristics of sutures, the …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the influence of cranial sutures on the crack
behaviour of a human skull after the impact. The authors focused on the assessment of skull …

Although cranial sutures presumably play a role in absorbing and/or transmitting loads
applied to the skull, loading patterns on facial sutures are poorly understood. The zygomatic …

In humans, the head, located in the upper part of the body, contains important structures
such as the brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, and related soft tissues. The human head …

Background. Cranial sutures are deformable joints between the bones of the skull, bridged
by collagen fibres. They function to hold the bones of the skull together while allowing for …

This article reviews the form and function of cranial sutures across the temporal and spatial
scales. The temporal scale spans 530 million years, from ostracoderms to contemporary …

The human skull is composed of numerous sutures, including those of the face, basal skull,
and calvarium. These sutures are an important part of the human skull, allowing growth …

Introduction Progress in cranial suture research is shaping our current understanding of the
topic; however, emphasis has been placed on individual contributing components rather …

In this study we aimed at investigating size effects on mechanical properties of cranial suture
in different animal research models. Lewis rats and C57BL/6 mice were selected as the …

Cranial sutures are unique to skull bones and consist of multiple connective tissue cell
lineages such as mesenchymal cells, fibroblast-like cells, and osteogenic cells, in addition to …
